IRVINE X ANDY CAVATORTA STUDIO | CREATIVE TECHNOLOGY | NEW YORK | 2019
This new type of electronic musical instrument was commissioned by AVL Cultural Foundation to commemorate the 75th birthday of their CEO — prolific inventor and engineer Herr Doktor Professor Helmut List. It creates music using crystals of (GaPO4), one of his favorite AVL inventions. These crystals do not occur naturally on our planet. The secret process for growing them was invented at AVL after 20 years of research. This exotic piezocrystal can operate in incredibly high temperatures and pressures and has dozens of industrial applications. And now one musical application.
